CHRISTMAS TALE
Blue Nose, Burned Tail
and Spicy had ran under Baltimore Street, rolled under Casper Avenue
and they were crossing under Nobody's Monument when they found Small
Teeth
”Where are you
going?”
”You know, the
best day of the month, our holidays at the Palace of Comfort.
“Oh, brother, the
House of Desperation, you mean. You know what's happening, don´t
you?” asked Small Teeth. “They're leaving”.
“You're joking,
aren't you? They love this house. She was painting walls, cleaning
glasses, polishing floors, building bridges...”
“Stop it, stop
it, stop it Spicy or we'll end up climbing mountains and crossing
valleys”, said
Blue Nose.
They were shocked, the
Palace of Comfort was such a good place that all the rats in town had
their own turn to visit it and spend a few days of rest. Delicious
home-made cheese, Asturian sausages... a paradise. The little girl
who loves cheese sandwiches and always leaves scraps all over the
house... a dream come true. All of them had a lot of good memories
about this family; a couple with two daughters and ALL ALLERGIC TO
CATS!
“I know, I know,
-went on talking Small Teeth- this week was my own turn. When I got
there they were carrying the furniture out, all of them crying, it
breaks your heart. They called it eviction , it's something about the
banks”.
“But what the
hell are those BANKS?” Cried up Spicy.” They are everywhere you
look around.”
“I don´t know
what the bank bussiness is, it´s not a food bussines anyway, so
I've never paid attention to them”.
“It seems
it´s a “throwingpeopleouthome” bussiness.”
“Well, boys, I'm
leaving”, Small Teeth said.” Don´t cry, now this is Christmas,
it means lots of food all over the town”.
“Jingle bells, jingle
bells, jingle all the way” a couple and two children walk in
silence along the lit streets “oh what fun it is to ride”, get up
the stairs and open the door for the last time”in a one horse open
sleigh YEAH”.
“What´s hanging up
there over the Iberian ham?” She asked
“Iberian ham?
Hallutinations of hunger”, he thought. What will it be next?.
“It´s a banner!! “The
girls screamed. “WE LOVE YOU. KEEP FIGHTING UNTIL THE LAST BEAT”
The owner of “The flower
of ham” was walking along the silent streets in the fresh morning
without knowing that one ham less was hanging from the ceiling of his
warehouse, while three cheerful rats enjoyed the Christmas
w76tr6ygtdxair.
“You've been
fabulous tonight, Burned Tail. I've never seen a somersault like that
in my whole life”
“Oh, that was
nothing, . Your secret access to Harrod's grocery , that was a real
good trick!
“Well, there is a
lot of watchmen and so, but they have the best of the better in
town”, said Blue Nose.
“Not bad, not bad
,but who wrote the banner?”
“Oh, that was
Ratstoiewski's touch, perhaps you know him, Spicy. He lives in a
library, and eats a lot of books.
“My mother always
told me, reading is the best food for the spirit”
“Your mother was
a wise rat, Spicy”
